The land down under got it’s name for a reason. If you care for snorkeling with Sting rays, living off $10 steak dinners, and craving for a view of the outback, come on down to Sydney, Australia to check things out for yourself. The only problem would be the long air travel: about 14 hours from U.S. to Australia.
After the long and tiring flight, the view of the Great barrier reef is just fascinating. The blue penguins, sting rays and black swans are very welcoming indeed. They are there to greet the tired visitor to the land down under. The author of the MSNBC article and his wife never really got to Australia during their career as editors on board the ship. Now, the author and his wife Betty are on a mission to visit and explore Australia.
If the city gets old fast, try some adventure activities in Sydney. For a price tag of Aus $1150, you can climb up the Sydney harbor bridge arch from the safety of your harness. Downtown, you can gear up for the Sydney skywalk. I am talking about a walk on the roof of a tower, 800 feet above the city. Whew! That’s like walking in the clouds.
If you are a water person, you can opt for a round trip ferry ride which will cost you about nine bucks. The ride is worth $9. The view of the Sydney opera house will make you speechless. Right outside the city limits, where the cane plantations end, the Kuranda range rises. You can opt for a train ride as well as a north-south flight to Melbourne. Make sure you visit the Botanical garden. Last but not the least, you can go for nude or semi nude bungee jumping. Just don’t look at where you are headed and your vacation will be great!
